“We tried some things last week at New Hampshire to get ready for the return to Iowa, and I think we’ll have a sporty TMC Chevrolet this weekend at my home track. It’s always good to be home, and we’ve been pretty good on tracks under a mile this year. Travis (Mack, crew chief) and the No. 1 team have been really good at getting us prepared for these races, and we’re coming in with the idea that we’re going to make some noise this weekend.”– Michael Annett

PAUL MENARD, No. 12 Menards/Richmond Ford Mustang – WHAT DID YOU SAY TO HARRISON BURTON? “He was mad. He hit me twice. I hit him once. I guess he’s mad at me for hitting him that one time. I was mad at him for hitting me twice before that, so that’s the way it goes.”

“You just have to have a really good race car, man. That’s something that I’m very fortunate with driving for Joe Gibbs Racing. We’ve had a lot of success on the short tracks here recently. I think Joe Gibbs Racing has a great short track package. I’m excited to see what we have here at Loudon.”
